Students in Years 7, 9, 11 and for some schools, Year 13 received awards on the evening.

Students were treated to a glitzy reception including refreshments, whilst they posed for pictures with their school friends and families. There was also a performance from Year 12 Performing Arts students, who performed a piece from Matilda ahead of a trip to watch the production.
